A short column by Mary M. Atwater answering a reader's question about "miniature patterns," which are overshot drafts condensed onto as few threads as possible for upholstery and hangings. Atwater says she dislikes them and prefers keeping the traditional patterns intact, such as Whig Rose. The page also carries a brief book review of the revised edition of Helen Louise Allen's American Hand-weaving, with its added illustrations, tapestry and primitive techniques section, prices and ordering source.
